A beautiful, compelling case for action. Thank you. Taking this quote to heart today - a picturesque blue sky Sunday in Baltimore:

“There is a gift, however, in recognizing that the dust is already swirling around us. It means that we don't have to wait to care for one another.”

Reminds me of piece of advice overheard at a party last night, “start before you’re ready”.

Happy Ruination Day!

Happy Ruination Day Bucks! I loved this meditation on apocalypse and other motivations and do every year. As my friend Nguhi recently said, “if we’re in the ‘bad place,’ ala The Good Place, we might as well be inspired to make art and show up for one another.”
